So, I'll be the first to admit when I am not good at something. I am not good at video games that require me to aim and shoot. I'm not good at applying my brakes quick when I drive up behind a car at a stoplight/stop sign. I am also not good at sketching. What do you think?

I tried to make the girl more fancy by giving her a polka-dotted shirt. I think it distracts you from her misshapen face.

When I moved out to California 2 years ago to work for Crave I never looked back. I knew it was exactly what God wanted me to do. It didn't make a ton of sense, but that is what made it exciting. Since then I have enjoyed the best 2 years of my life. I have gotten to continue working for Brad in college ministry, something that fits me like a glove. Working at Crave with Brad, Jim, Juli, Michal, Lisa, Shawn, John, Dominik and Mindi and countless others at Crave has made these past 2 years the best of my life.

But as with all good things comes growth and change. A few months ago I was beginning to feel the desire to work in full-time design and really sharpen my design skills. An opportunity came up with Group Publishing to be the art director for Simply Youth Ministry, a company that Doug Fields began years ago to help serve youth ministers and their ministries around the world.

So as of this past Monday I now work at Simply Youth Ministry. It's awesome that it did not require me to relocate. I work just a few blocks from Saddleback Church. I feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity and I'm excited to see how God is going to stretch me and mold me into a stronger person.
